Where the only rule to stitching is... you must first put the floss through the needle.

Stash and More Crows

Hello Everyone!

Raven is on my to do list. I have three smalls (all pumpkin/crows) up next. Hoping with fingers crossed to get them done before we start Northwind. But, there might be a slight change of plans. More on that later.

Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who commented on Raven. And also, I wanted to welcome my new followers. Somehow I'm up to 152!

******************************************************

By now we've all seen the newest JCS magazine. I got mine Tuesday and by that afternoon I had a new start. Now - it's a finish!

As I was loading the picture I noticed I didn't add any buttons to it yet. I'll have to check the stash and see what works.

Yesterday DH asks if I would like to go on a ride. Ok...sure. We leave before noon and head north. We ended up taking the L-O-N-G route to Cleveland. Our lunch consisted of handmade ice cream some where along SR 250 before Applecreek. And we stopped at both stitching places! I was very good and bought a few things for myself. But, I started my Christmas shopping. I'm afraid there might be boos and hisses from the masses if I talk too loudly about that. ;0)

One free pattern, a button for Thanksgiving Day bird, 2 crow and 2 summery patterns. Not bad and I didn't break the bank.

Today has been filled with household chores and soon I'll be making spaghetti. Tomorrow it's back to work. Only for four days this week - I have Wednesday off for a doctor appt. Which brings me to why my stitching might have to be re-arranged. I have another appt with a hand surgeon to see exactly what is wrong there. Maybe nothing - maybe surgery. Haven't gone to med school so we'll see.

That's a wrap up of my weekend. Hope yours was terrific and filled with happy stitches!

He's a cheerful little bird, isn't he?! Are you filling a fall basket? I still don't have my JCS and I'm beginning to think I'm the only one. Maybe I should check on that sooner than later. You showed admirable restraint in your shopping, but made some good looking choices. Way to go!

First I love the finish and all the stash looks great! So sorry about your hand. If we have to rearrange the SAL I am sure we can all find something to keep us busy while we hang in there for you. My should took a couple of steps back last week but this weekend I dug out an old chair of my moms and a floor stand that I got and never used and it seems to be really helping. Good Luck and keep us posted. Rose

Oh, Denise, I hope you don't have to have surgery. I'll wish you the best of luck for that!!! Your little finish is cute. Grats on getting it done so quickly!! Can't wait to see your other small projects.

Great finish Denise, I just got my JCS magazine yesterday in the mail and was eyeing that same ornament. I like road trips but my husband would never go with me. Good luck at the doctors with your hand, hope it does not need surgery.Happy StitchingDenise

About Me

I am a 49 year old wife and mother of two. I have been married for nearly 30 years. And have no idea where the time has gone. I found cross stitching in 1980. In the last 20+ years stitching has become my main interest. I also love reading, Italian cooking, and OSU football.
